we had 6.5% unemployment in south carolina. today we have 9.6. that's 50% increase. everybody understands the unemployment rate. dohow does dick sit there and look south carolinians in the eye and say he deserves another term when we have had unemployment go up 50%. see that throughout the country in swing states, north carolina, florida and ohio. >> laura: dick, you can answer that look i think obama is a master politician, i have thought that from the very beginning. i think is he brilliant, masterful at commanding the stage and so forth. but he does have a record, does he not? he said if you are not better off than you were four years ago that's an important barometer. he said that four years ago. is that not the case for you in south carolina? southsouth carolinians are not seeing their life better off today than they did four years ago. isn't that the case, dick. >> absolutely when barack obama took office he could not in any way know in 2008 that we would be hemorrhaging 80,800,000 jobs a month with what george bush left us. i'm not blaming george bush. this is

south carolina has started to do that. in south carolina, we built things. we build cars, we built planes. we are the number one tire producer in the country. there are three factors that are allowing south carolina to become the it state. keeping the cost of doing business low. time is money. they know we value time is money. work-force training. when a company comes to south carolina, they do not have to conform to our work force. we train the workers for them. they tell me what they need to have and i make sure we have those workers ready. i am telling you because i will continue to be a union buster all day long. we are still one of the lowest unionized states in the country. for all of you who have asked me about the national rate -- national labor relations board, they need to go. what happened in south carolina -- let me give you a quick story. boeing wanted to create 1000 jobs in south carolina. they wanted to expand to thousand jobs in washington state. not one person was hurt. president obama and the national labor relations board sued and said the

joining us now republican south carolina governor nikki haley.a heck of a speech yesterday. >> thank you. we had a blast. >> my parents started their own businesses. president obama, don't tell me e they didn't build it. >> you know, i watched my parents. i grew up doing the books in my parents' home at the age of 13. they started out of the living room of our home. 30 years later it was a multi-million dollar business. i saw them go without. i saw how hard they worked, how much they put into the business. it's offensive for them to tell me that my parents didn't build it. to say it to any business owner who sweats and sacrifices family and time to do it. >> actually, it sounds like -- if memo ry serves -- firefightes offensive for the national labor relations board to stop job creation in the boeing plant in south carolina and you fought the law and won. >> we did. when president obama chases companies out of this country, he didn't protect the one american company he should have been thanking for creating a thousand jobs in south carolina. for

out later on that 92,239,011 south carolina anymore.they are now citizens in another state. 37,000 of them are deceived and have not been taken up the voting roll. of that 37,000, 950 some odd had been shown to vote in the election after they were deceased. it may have been actually dead voters voting through fraud or could have been an error by the poll watcher. we are currently looking at those numbers. but the possibility, opportunity for fraud exists. our sister state in 2007 implemented their voter i.d. law. if you look at 2004, from 2,422,008, minority participation when a what people say that was because i was a special election neared it was her first african-american president with a lot of enthusiasm. okay to those intent minority participation when it 44%. caucasian voters went up 11%. it went up across the board, but it were not statistically higher with minority groups. and no court case has someone been able to prove or show that there is actually someone who's been disenfranchised or have the right to go suppress. and sou

governor. >> i love the south carolina.aughter of indian immigrants, who reminded my brothers, sisters and me every single day how blessed we were to live in this country. they loved the fact that only in america we could be as successful as we wanted to be and nothing would stand in our way. my parents started a business out of the living room of their home, and 30-plus years later it was a multimillion dollar company. but there wasn't a single day that it was easy. there wasn't a single day that my mom and dad didn't put everything they had into making that business. so president obama, with all due respect, don't tell me that my parents didn't build their business. [cheers and applause] almost 45 years after my parents first became americans, i stand before you and them tonight as the proud governor of south carolina. [cheers and applause] we build things in the palmetto state. we build planes. we build cars. we have three of the four largest tire producers in the world, and are about to become the number one tire-produc

a south carolina has started to do that. in the south carolina, we build things. we build the cars and planes. all of that comes with a workforce to do it. there are three factors that allows south carolina to be a state ere companies are coming in. we'reeeping the costs of doing business low. i replaced my entire board -- tiem is money -- ti is money. for them.he workers they tell me how many engineers and they need. i make sure i have those workers ready. i am telling you. i will continue to be a union buster all day long. we are still one of the lowest unionize states in the country. for all of you who have asked me about the national labor report, you need to go. what happened in south carolina, boeing, a great american compy wanted to expand to thousand jobs in washington state. not one person was hurt. the ball and the national labor board sued and said -- president obama and the national labor board sued. every one of the governor stepped up and said, this is the most on american thing we have ever seen. it being an election year, i think president obama re

tim scott add of south carolina. -- out of south carolina. you have to and scott, alan west, on any given day, this guy just goes off the rails. is that what it takes to be a black conservative? you have to say outrageous stuff like this every other day. >> i can only speak for me and in 19 -- 2008, i had people accusing me of being a senator obama supporter because i would not slam him. consider the fact that i voted for impeachment for president clinton, but it was not a personal vote. i voted based on the facts and a lot and the constitution and what we were dealing with. i do think we have to strike a more civil tone in our public policy discussions. i happen to believe -- i remember when the senator or the house member from south carolina called president obama and a liar on the floor of the house. i was on the national show and they were asking me what i thought about it. i said, i disagree with it. i think it was wrong. both sides were wrong for what they did and how they handled that. i think there is a discourse in our public policy

. >> south carolina. >> hinojosa: south carolina. and after south carolina... >> alabama. >> hinojosa: alabama. and these percentage growths we're talking about... >> more than double. so the population of hispanics in these states, in fact throughout the southeast, more than doubled in many places. now truly, when we talk about alabama, or we talk about south carolina, the hispanic populations there were were relatively small. 150,000 in 2000, for example, and it doubles to maybe 300,000 or so now. now compare that to california. california is more than 14 million latinos. so the relative size is small. nonetheless, throughout the southeast, tennessee, kentucky, georgia, alabama, all throughout arkansas, all throughout the southeast, that's where we saw the fastest percentage growth in the hispanic population. but i want to point to one state, because there's one state that's really interesting, which is georgia. georgia didn't start from a small base. georgia started at about 450,000 latinos in 2000. it's now over 800,000. it nearl

it's a good crowd. >> south carolina expected to be a republican state.t have current polls and also other states like michigan, michigan is not, i mean that is a tougher state for the republican party. >> excitement was tlchl haid two ind inn depds say we don't know everything we need to know about governor romney yet what did he do know is that we deserve better than what we have today that. is too two independents in michigan. in chicago we got the same response. noits that people have a party style now. they know this is a time of courage them need to pick someone they know is going to fight for them. they know president obama is not it. >> greta: gone kon vengs is thursday night. are you hitting the road friday, saturday, sunday? >> as soon as they need me. you'll see is that it's important for the people of south carolina we have a new president. it's important to this governor to make sure that i've got someone going to have our back in south carolina i'll do whatever they need us to do. >> greta: governor great to see you coming up more, new hamps

coastal south carolina got hit with heavy tropical rain from isaac. the residents, take a look at those guys. they used a kayak to get down a busy street. the area got up to 3 inches of rain. and in mississippi, the state's 12 gulf coast casinos were ordered closed tonight and the wind gusts is zapping electricity at last word, 100,000 homes and businesses were without power. back up to you, brian and sue. >> thank you for that. we should realize that i spent a lot of years down there and a heavy rain in baton rouge and people can take jet skis on the road. there's nowhere for it to go. >> considering the mississippi was low anyway, the fact that they are going to continue to have this flooding shows what hurricane isaac is going to do. >> it's still out in the water. it went back out and it is crawling along and not in any hurry to come back inland. it will eventually do that in a few hours. it can continue to maintain its strength. by comparison, we may actually in fact sample a little bit of isaac's rain. maybe late in our labor day weekend or into

[cheers and applause] we're fighters in south carolina, and as we fought we watched an amazing thing happen. you fought with us. and guess what. we won. [cheers and applause] a few months ago i sat on the tarmac at the boeing facility in north charleston and watched as a new mack daddy plane was on the runway, and was surrounded by 6,000 nonunion employees cheering, smiling and so proud of what they had built! [cheers and applause] we deserve a president who won't sacrifice american jobs and american workers to pacify the bullying union bosses he counts as his political allies. american businesses deserve a federal government that doesn't stand in their way. not one that tries to chase them overseas. fighting american ingenuity and innovation, that's what this president has meant to south carolina. that's what this president has meant to this governor. and that's why this governor will not stop fighting until we send him home, back to chicago, and send mitt and ann romney to 1600 penn

maybe in 4, 8, 12 years, south carolina and texas will be battleground states. ake another point about what murder cat said, to win a statewide election in the deep south, the democrats only need to win about 1 out of 3 white voters. 1 out of 3. >> 1 out of 3 to 1 out of 4. >> in mississippi. exact right exactly right. you don't have to win a majority of the white vote to win statewide elections. the democrats haven't found the key to that. mudcat understands that. a lot of good democrats have been fighting that fight. we will see when that shift happens. >> mudcat, you agree demographics are going to make up in the deficit over maybe the next -- >> i don't think it has to do -- governor, in all honesty, i don't think it has to do with demographics. if you don't play the game you can't win. if you go to mississippi -- i will use mississippi as an example. i bet they don't have three employees in the state democratic party. and i mean we are forgotten america, the south is. and we are going to miss the train on it if we are not careful. i know donnie will tell you

last year, it was determined that there are 70 people in south carolina registered to vote but do note a voter registration card. a lot of people would be affected by having to get a photo id. in our state, there were 239,000 south carolinian who had a voter card but no photo id. the justice apartment made a determination that 10% of that number were non-white. 8.4% of that number were white. a 1.6% disparity of how people could be negatively affected. they said in their refusal to clear the voter i.d. lot that minorities are 20% more likely to be disenfranchised or have their vote suppressed. they came up with the 20% number because the number 10 is 20% higher than 8.4. a twisting of facts. data companies using data from people who are of voting age, not likely or eligible or registered. they use inflated data to get a predetermined outcome. when you look at the 239,000 people in south carolina, we found out that 92,000 of that 239,000 do not even live in south carolina anymore. they are now citizens in another state. 37,000 of them are deceased and had not been taking off the voting
